This is one of my favourite N64 games. Of all Pokémon spinoff games, this one has got to be one of the most original and underdone types. I agree, it IS great fun. I actually got better at taking real photos because of this. xD

And speaking of Pokémon spinoff games, anyone remember 'Hey You, Pikachu!'? Did that microphone ever get another use? [/offtopic]

Haha totally! XD

Oh! I do! That was a fun game too! They should make a return for the Wii or something...they could do something with the Wii Mote for Pokemon Snap and such, but anyways...that was another fun game in it's own special way. And for the microphone...I don't think so...if I remember right.

I actually was playing pokemon snap not to long ago... My friend has both of my game systems (PS2 and Gamecube) so I only have my N64 so I decided to play it. I like hitting the pokemon with the apples... I know i'm a horrible person.

Oh my god. I rented this game (with the microphone) from Blockbuster while I had strep throat. I feel bad for the next kid who rented it.

That game was awful XD I remember I was so pissed off because he didn't understand "APPLE."

--but yeah, Pokemon Snap is the love of my life.

P.S.

Hit Magicarp into the waterfall for a Gyarados.

^^ I beat the pokemon snap game. the pikachu floating with the balloons are funny.

07-17-2008, 10:30 PM

You did? Man I don't think I ever beat it...don't you have to capture a good picture of Mew? Or wait...maybe I have beat it. Don't you beat the game once you get a picture of Mew looking back at you? Or is there more...ahhh I can't remember!

But I totally think Nintendo needs to remake this on the Wii...they could do so much more with it!

And yet everytime you call him a rat, he always understood that...
But I recently downloaded Pokemon Snap onto my Wii. I beat it in about two or three days but it's still fun. There is defenitley potential for a squeal on the Wii. I'd love to see that.

That's still the N64 version though...you can just download it on the virtual console. I mean like a remastered one. New levels, new pokemon, and such.

Pokemon Snap is freakin' great. It's still a party game for me. XD

Making all the Charmanders come and beg you for apples in the volcano level is about the most adorable thing ever.

hmmm its fun watching the pokemon fall down and such... when you throw apples at them.

I think they'd need to redo the inverted controls if there were new one. I tried playing it on the wii and felt like a complete idiot 'cause I couldn't figure out how to operate it =(

A sequel would be a wonderful investment. I think we should start a petition and send it to nintendo!

it says on the screen you have to use the old N64 controller. i tried using the wii mote and its hard to figure out.

One of my all time favorite games! I used to hate how hard it was to get a good picture of Psyduck though, as he's my favorite.

I was so happy the first time I was able to knock the Magikarp into the waterfall to get Gyarados.

I totally agree that a sequel for the Wii would be amazing! With even more environments, and have every single pokemon snap-able.

I was thinking if it'd break the game to try and change things to a more free-roaming style of gameplay as opposed to the rail riding system of the first game. Like, build an open GTA-style Pokemon world to explore as Snap/Todd and just wander around finding all the Pokemon and getting shots of them.

Oh man, a Wii version would be awesome...

I played it so much as a kid- I can still beat the first two or three levels in my sleep. And the constellations and Mew on the last level! I always felt a little bad for pelting Mew with whatever I had handy.

Oh my gosh, after reading this thread all the memories are flowing back into me! Ack this was my favourite game on the N64, so much fun! A sequel on the Wii would just be awesome, I would so buy it the moment it comes out in the UK XD

As for Hey you Pikachu, I used to be so depressed when I couldn't find it anywhere in shops! Looking at all the articles and adverts in the magazines I used to read made me so excited knowing that you could speak to Pikachu! *__* But alas I never got to play it, one day I shall plug in my N64 again and buy that game! >O [Despite the bad reviews!]

This game is seriously under-loved. I really liked going around and taking pictures of all the Pokemon doing silly things, like Surfing Pikachu and Dancing Snorlax. The Pokemon Album (the red one; you can put your favourite pictures in it.) was filled very quickly. I've never seen any other 'camera-game' other than this, so it's definitely NOT overdone! My favourite gadget had to be the Poke-Flute. I want to be able to play all three songs on a real flute someday.

On Wikipedia it says that Jynx was recoloured purple for the Wii version. I know a little bit about the controversy thing, but I don't think insulting people were their intentions.. o.o If they did that, how come it was left alone for the original?

Also, how come Hey You, Pikachu! had bad reviews? I loved that game; I thought it was pretty original and really fun, even when Pikachu didn't listen to you. xD One of my favourite places was the one where you make soup with Bulbasaur.

Jynx is purple in all her appearances since the controversy in order to avoid any future issues I beleive.

Except they kept her black on the show for quite some time, which lead to an episode in late Johto being banned.

It's bizarre since Jynx had been purple in the games since the second gen, so for several years already by the time that episode came around.

Ahhhh, Pokemon snap. So many memories. This is the game that led me to beg my parents for an N64. I spent hours playing it. Now I feel like bringing it back out again. I agree that a Wii version would be spectacular, except I haven't been keeping up with the new Pokemon, so I would have no idea what half of the ones I would be photographing were.

And, Hey You, Pikachu? It took me forever to find a copy of it, and once I had it... Well, even the Pokemon crazy kid I was back then was disappointed. Pikachu hardly understood anything I said and the tasks were hard. I don't think the microphone ever had any more uses for the N64, but I know a friend who uses his as a mic for his computer. XD

Man, I haven't played this game since... elementary probably? XD Didn't Blockbuster have like something you could print out stickers of your shots if I'm not mistaken?
